Don't worry about it... I only do the very very simple stuff on my car, anything that required more than a ratchet set to do, I've had someone else (OK, it was ormi
) do for me (and even some of that stuff too :lol

Done by Ormi
TRD Yellow ARBs, Drilled/Grooved Discs, Mintex Pads, Moley Bars, TTE Front Bumper, TRD Side & Rear Skirts, IK20 Plugs & other servicing etc
So all the difficult stuff I shout for help on

i have spil about 4 sets so far, i can safeely safe 130 degrees C for 10 mins works wekk, its enough to soften the sealant but not hot enough so it just falls apart.

My car's got an LED high level brakelight and I melted that good and proper trying to split it apart to replace some failed LEDs. You are not alone.
When I did my foglights I used a hairdryer!!

yeah but rob my oven doesn't have the degrees onit it just says it in numbers from 0-9 and its confusing not knowing what degrees its on??

I would say its 25 degress incriments that means 9 is probaby 225 c so you would want 6 or 7 and keep checking it, or get a cheap thermometer?

i'm going to have to do something know Karl i've got one more headlamp left :/ right once you split it and that and do what you have to do then what do you just put them back together and put them in the oven????

yeh matey stick back in the oven for about 5-7mins on a low heat to soften up glue then push back together you can use sealent around the light also for extra protection if you wanted
